The MACS-AMP-Lite is a cost-opti-mized OEM multi-axis motion controller specially designed for use in special
machine engineering. A programmable controller is combined with integrated servo amplifiers in the compact housing.
The MACS-AMP-Lite can control, position, and synchronize up to three servo drives as well as execute autono-
mously entire process steps.
It is possible to use different feedback signals simultaneously for each axis to
achieve the most accurate positioning with automated slip compensation. There are direct encoder inputs for incremental
encoders, SSI encoders, and Heidenhain glass scales.
The MACS-AMP-Lite can be used as
device control stand-alone or using one of the interfaces in combination with a PLC. It is free programmable and even
complex control tasks can be processed on its own. Each of the interfaces with its corresponding Windows DLL is available
for controlling or visualization in PC systems.
Application Range X/Y/Z positioning in measuring
systems, robots, analysis and
handling devices.
Synchronization of highly dynamic drives, e.g. in labeling machines or
feeding systems
Standalone control of devices and simple machines
Advantages at a glance Compact and complete solution
including internal power stages
Highly accurate multi-axis position control without any license fees
Free programmable motion and process control unit
Direct encoder interfaces for
incremental encoders and Heidenhain glass scales
Ethernet and USB interfaces
for data exchange with a PLC, a PC host, or a visualization system
The MACS-AMP-Lite is an
optimized solution for direct integration into devices due to its very compact size and its economical
wiring. It adds motion control functionality and motor power stages to each PC and PLC based system or
can even be used standalone.
